Sounds good to me. But I think we should level the playing surface a little more. As I remember, Europe has 67 countries, plus a couple of the new ones. Africa is probably 500 or so miles from the mo

After wading through about 30 messages on this thread, a couple of things come to mind. 1. ( US op only )If you can't sit down and write out the name of every State, and it's correct postal abbreviat
Right. Then all the software will have to be rewriten, and the authors should certainly like that. With a few pesky sections like SCV, LAX, ORG, we'll throw out the other 70 plus and change it to he
With all due respect, that is BS. How many of us have mobile rigs? I do, but not for the reason above. That may be the justification officially given, but the pure and simple truth is it's a hobby. W
Unethical? I doubt very seriously that thought would even enter a contestor's mind. I believe an apology is due here. I have seen nothing in any post which would even remotely suggest that Bob's prio

I must be missing some point here. I don't care what the call may be, but if the station says he is in Nebraska, I'm willing to take his word for it. And that is what I would log, and if Nebraska hap

Good point. While I think I would favor grid squares as a change, it has a disadvantage in that the logs could be checked against a database, such as Buckmaster ( and probably others ). Are we lookin
As usual Quack Quack has words of wisdom. Someone else mentioned it, but I really like the idea of grid squares, ( based on the geographical center of each square ) and tie that to the scoring on a d
Do you know how complicated distance scoring could be...that 160 meter contest with grid squares is so complex you send in the Q's and the contest committee computes the score...and no paper logs all
